BOYS AND TOBACCO.

A bill has been before the Illinois
legislature at its present session, and
perhaps before this becomes a law, pro.
hibiting the selling of tobacco in any
form to boys under sixteen years of
age, without the written consent of
parents or guardian, under penalty of
twenty dollars. The passage of the
law has been urged by leading news.
papers in the state. Other states in the
Union, it is stated, have similar laws.
Such law is based on sanitary princi-
pies. The best medical authorities de.
clare that the use of tobacco by young
persons tends to impair and weaken
their physical organism, and render
them susceptible to disease. The
government of France many years ago
enacted such law to guard the young
against contracting habits injurious to
health, and which when once formed
would follow them with deleterious in.
fuences through life. Some law re.
Straining the use of tobacco in this
state would prove great blessing to
many boys. Young boys from ten to
twelve years of age are seen smoking
cigarettes, which are tobacco in it's
worst form. There have been seen
boys smoking stubs of Gig hrs, remnants
of what had once been used, probably
thrown into the gutter, and fished up.
For the credit of the race, such sights
are rare. 1t seems to he the opinion
that the practice of chewing tobacco is
on the decline. but where this form of
using the weed is abandoned, it has
commonly been superseded by smok-
ing. But it is not the present purpose
to criticise the use of tobacco by the
older classes who have long been in the
habit, but it is for the protection of the
boys the plea is made. 1t would seem
hardly possible that father could be
found in this county, who has long been
addicted to chewing tobacco, who would
encourage his son to indulge in its use.
If it be asked by what right does the
legislature prohibit the selling of to-
bacco to boys? By the same right
which various articles are prohibited
from being sold.

DOG FIGHTING EXHIBITIONS.

DOG FIGHTING EXHIBITIONS.
The Superintendent of the Humane
Society at Milwaukee, few days ago,
found his way into resort outside of
the city, where about one hundred
sports were watching the progress of a
dog fight. This motley crowd began to
scatter as soon as they saw the officer.
The superintendent arrested two of
the principals, and obtained the names
of sixty.six others; he did not arrest
them, but held their names to be used
in evidence against them, should any
of them be found again present at a
dog fight. The two arrested men were
taken before a Justice; one confessed
his guilt and was fined $50; the other
gave bail for his appearance in court
The chief design in noticing this mat
ter is to warn boys or those of older
growth to keep away from dog fights
if they wish to avoid trouble.

BRANDING MEN.

Before thedays of civilization, men
were branded on the body like cat
tie, and the branders were blacker
than the branded. In this christian
age mems characters and reputa.
tions are branded, and the branders
again are blacker than the branded.
Corporations not only throw men
out of employment, or their hireli1gs
do, but pass their names along the
official line as black-listed, thus de-
priving them of employment and
their families of support. Heartless
indeed and soulless are these corpo.
ration doings. If some incendiary
burns your house or public property
IN the darkness of night, you are at
the mercy of a fiend. In broad mid
day light, the moral incendiarias will
apply the torch of defamation to
Your character and trade or business,
and YOU are at the mercy of the cor
poration and monopoly fiends. Men
should not rest night or day until
our laws are changed, so as to give
every man fair show for his rights,
and protection against being kick
cd out of employment like a dog,
simply because he refuses to sacri.
fee his manhood. If "boycotting y
is criminal and subject to penalty,
why should not black-listing" be a
greater crime under the law. One
takes your profits; the other your
character and means of earning a
living for yourself and children.
